Vouliwatch is a non-partisan parliamentary monitoring organisation created in 2014 in response to the rising disillusionment of a large segment of the Greek population towards parliamentary democracy and the broader Greek political system - which is characterised to a large extent by lack of transparency, accountability and corruption.

Govwatch belongs to the family of civic activism tools curated by the independent, non-partisan parliamentary monitoring organisation Vouliwatch. Govwatch is a collaborative digital map of the state of Rule of Law in Greece, with an archive from 2015 until now. The platform showcases reports, articles and studies, regarding incidents of non-adherence to the Rule of Law by the state authorities. Most importantly though, it serves as a safe whistleblowing spot for any individual or organisation. Civilians can anonymously report cases of Rule of Law violation through the Globaleaks environment, that is connected to the platform. We built upon the existing UI and UX patterns from vouliwatch.gr adding a color-coding system to organise content in 4 (four) big categories and their subcategories. All 24-in-total topics have been illustrated with digital collages, creating visual narratives for users currently in the #MoodForLaw.
